After you have learned this basic knowledge, reread the XMail manual. Most things will become more clear then. Please don't ask or expect the forum to give you a step-by-step instruction for a complete mail server setup, because YOU have to know and manage the system at the end. So learning by doing is definately the best way!Feel free to ask specific questions, if you got stuck somewhere and you cannot find an answer in the manual or with the forum's search function.

The XMail Manual can be found here:- In your local MailRoot/bin folder or- http://xmailserver.org/Readme.html or - http://xmailserver.org/Readme.txt
